After the terror assault of 9/11 the world rallied behind America and together the US and NATO entered Afghanistan to hunt down and destroy the mastermind Osama bin Laden and his al Qaida terrorist network. But the US and its allies have been dragged into a war between a re-emergent Taliban and an Afghan government, dominated by warlords, whose power and wealth were alienating ordinary Afghans.

Osama bin Laden
(New York, NY) — TikTok is being slammed for allowing influencers on it’s social media platform to praise an anti-American letter written by Osama bin Laden. That letter surfaced a short time after the 9-11 attacks in 2001. 25-year-old influencer Lynette Adkins, who makes 200-thousand dollars a year with his fashion tip videos on TikTok, re-posted bin Laden’s letter on the China-owned app. She asked her hundreds of thousands of followers to go read it, adding she’ll “never look at this country the same.” The White House says there’s no justification in spreading Bin Laden’s lies. TikTok said on Thursday that videos promoting the letter violate its rules.
